Excercise and Energy

Cold weather is upon us and i'm loving it. Summer time is not my favorite thing, therefore, when the outside temps drop to the 40's and 50's, i'm a happy girl!

This week I started the Couch to 5K program. I haven't followed it to a "T", but I have been jogging/walking in increments. It has given me so much energy and my metabolism has sky rocketed. It's fabulous. Not only am I feeling it in my body, but also my energy level. I've accomplished tons of chores around the house. I'm bouncing off the walls like I downed a gallon of coffee.

Why do I not keep a workout routine up? It makes me feel wonderful and it is so healthy for my body. I hope I's trying hard to stick to it this time. And hopefully you'll see me running a 5K in the near future. That would be awesome.

Baby It's Cold Outside, but No Snow

We had one of the most boring weekends in the history of weekends. But i'm not complaining, it was n-i-i-i-ce! We had a relaxing Saturday and Sunday with our girls and nothing beats that.

Friday night, C had to work late, but when he got home we all jumped in the car and went riding around looking at Christmas lights. That's one of our favorite Holiday things to do. Some of the homes around here Deck the Halls to the max. It's amazing and so much fun to see. One of the homes had their lights programmed to the local Christmas station and Miss Priss was in awe to watch the lights flicker along to the music.

Saturday, we again hopped in the car to ride around,b ut this time it was to look at the houses themselves {not the same ones of course} We went house hunting for a new home. We're still in the process of repairing our bathrooms and as soon as they're finished we're listing our house. I'm so excited and ready for something new. Don't get me wrong, i'm incredibly thankful for our home. I'll miss this house, i'm sure, but we need something better for our family.

Today was a cold day. It started out decent, but ended up bitterly cold. C mowed our yard. Yes, I said mowed in the middle of winter. He hasn't done the yard since probably October. {grin} He's a bit lax when it comes to yard work. Who can blame him? I wouldn't want to do it either. The girls and I sat outside and watched him like we normally do. Gives him company, ya know? Anyway they played in the jeep and I got a couple cute pictures. Hope everyone had a grand family weekend.
They both love this thing. One of the best investments we've ever made. Miss Priss gets a little peeved because I make her drive in the low gear when Care Bear rides, but CB loves it no matter how fast {or slow} they're going.
See, she prefers to ride solo at times. She can go as fast as she wants..and she does go fast! Such a pretty little thing might I add. Anytime I ask her to smile for a picture, she gives a perfect little "cheese!"

Goofball baby in her winter parka. {wink} I couldn't tear her away from the fence. She loves to watch our dogs. One of them was out running around, but the other is naughty and won't listen so she stayed in the fence and CB was amazed by her.
We bought both of the jackets the girls have on two winters ago from Old Navy when they went on sale. Can you believe a size 18-24mo still fits Miss Priss? Yes, both jackets are the same size and both girls fit semi comfortably.

Good gravy..I can't even stand the cuteness.I could just smoochy her little cheeks all day long. She was so much fun to watch trying to walk in this getup, but she was warm, therefore my job was done.
